Larry, I have a .22 Mag Sportster w/Survivor stock and Millet Red Dot as my dedicated coyote gun for Maine when shots are to be held to about 100 yards or just over. It works and works WELL. I am sure yours will be just as successful. My 2 coyote hunting buddies from Maine also use standard synthetic stocked .22 Mag Sportsters with Red Dot sights as coyote guns....<><.... :grin:
